SEC Charges TheStreet, Inc. and Former Executives In Connection With Accounting Fraud

Leave a comment
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 22575 / December 18, 2012
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Release No. 3432 / December 18, 2012
Securities and Exchange Commission v. TheStreet, Inc., Civil Action No. 12-CV-9187 (JGK) (S.D.N.Y. December 18, 2012)
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Eric Ashman, Civil Action No. 12-CV-9189 (S.D.N.Y. December 18, 2012); and
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Gregg Alwine and David Barnett, Civil Action No. 12-CV-9191 (S.D.N.Y. December 18, 2012)

SEC Charges TheStreet, Inc. and Former Executives In Connection With Accounting Fraud

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged TheStreet, Inc. and three executives in connection with a 2008 accounting fraud at a former subsidiary of TheStreet, Inc. The fraud allowed TheStreet to report artificially inflated revenue and misstated operating income or loss in each period of 2008.

The SEC alleges that throughout 2008, Eric Ashman, TheStreet’s former Chief Financial Officer, aided and abetted the fraud by improperly and prematurely recognizing revenue based on several of the former subsidiary’s transactions. According to the complaint, Ashman caused TheStreet to recognize revenue when he knew or recklessly disregarded that there was no basis for revenue recognition.

Gregg Alwine and David Barnett, co-presidents of the subsidiary, are alleged to have aided and abetted the fraud by entering into sham transactions, and fabricating and backdating contracts and other documents. In addition, Barnett is charged with leading TheStreet’s auditor to believe that the subsidiary had performed services and thereby earned revenue on a specific transaction when in fact it had not performed those services.

For its part, TheStreet is charged with lacking appropriate internal controls over its subsidiary’s revenue and with violating books and records and reporting provisions of the securities laws.

The Commission alleges that (1) Ashman violated Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13a-14 and 13b2-1 thereunder and aided and abetted violations by TheStreet.com of Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5(b), 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder; and failed to comply with Section 304(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (2) Alwine and Barnett violated Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b2-1 thereunder and aided and abetted TSC’s violations of Section 10(b)(5), 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5(b), 12b-20 and 13a-13 thereunder; and Barnett violated Rule 13b2-2; and (3) TheStreet violated Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 thereunder.

Without admitting or denying the Commission’s allegations, each of the defendants has agreed to be permanently enjoined from future violations of the federal securities laws. In addition, Ashman will pay a $125,000 penalty, reimburse TheStreet $34,240.40 pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and will be barred from acting as a director or officer of a public company for a period of three years. Alwine and Barnett will pay penalties of $120,000 and $130,000, respectively, and will be barred from serving as officers or directors of a public company for ten years.

Organizer of International Securities Fraud

Organizer of international Securities Fraud Ring Perpetrated Through Botnets and Stock Manipulation Convicted

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 30, 2012

TRENTON, N.J. – A federal jury today convicted a central organizer of aSEC conspiracy to commit securities fraud which was perpetrated through the use of botnets located throughout the world, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.

The jury returned the guilty verdicts against Christopher Rad, 44, of Cedar Park, Texas, following a 9-day trial before U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano in Trenton Federal Court. Rad was convicted of six counts, including: (1) Conspiracy of furthering securities fraud by transmitting spam using false e-mail headers and transmitting spam using falsely registered e-mail addresses; (2) Conspiracy to transmit spam by gaining unauthorized access to computers and using those computers to transmit spam; and (3) four counts of transmission of spam by gaining unauthorized access to computers and using those computers to transmit spam.

Rad’s co-conspirators, Doyle Scott Elliott and James Bragg, previously pleaded guilty on July 24, 2012, and Oct. 20, 2010, respectively, to securities fraud and transmission of spam through falsely registered e-mail addresses. Elliott will be sentenced on May 2, 2013. Bragg is awaiting a sentencing date.

According to documents filed in this case and evidence at trial:

Stock promoters in a scheme to manipulate the price and volume of approximately 39 stocks, including, RSUV, QRVS, VSHE, SVXA, and ASIC (the “Manipulated Stocks”), engaged Rad in order to generate a market for the stocks so that they could dump them for a profit – a practice known as a “pump and dump” scheme. The scheme began as early as May 2007 and continued through February 2009. After conspiring with the stock promoters, Rad sought out and engaged “mailers,” which the evidence demonstrated were actually “spammers.” He then sent the spammers the precise language to include in their spam campaigns.

The spammers included two individuals who distributed spam through botnets. To create a botnet, viruses were sent out to infect computers around the world and create a virtual army of hijacked computers. The spammers then caused the botnets to distribute spam to promote the Manipulated Stocks. Infected computers included some found in New Jersey, Europe, Russia and elsewhere. The botnet, in turn, was controlled from command and control servers located overseas, including in Russia and China.

Rad, who went by the alias “billy_sack,” communicated with the spammers by Skype, in most instances knowing them only by their aliases, such as “breg,” “ega,” “billybob6001,” “be3ez12.”

Rad paid the spammers over $1.4 million during the twenty-two months of the conspiracy. These payments were made through e-Gold and money wires. Payments intended for a botnet operator in Russia were made through at least eight different countries. The wire instruction notations included false information such as payments for “Dell Monitors,” “touch panels” and “transportation services.”

Rad also agreed with others to engage in bad faith purchases of RSUV to create the impression that the stock was active. This was done during the course of the spam campaigns of RSUV so that recipients of the spam would perceive active trading in the stock.

Doyle Scott Elliott, a stock promoter who was also part of the conspiracy, falsified documents submitted to attorneys in order to obtain opinion letters to secure millions of freely traded shares in those stocks. Those letters certified that trading restrictions on shares of the Manipulated Stocks could be lifted because certain conditions set forth in securities regulations were met.

Finally, Rad and his co-conspirators put disclaimers in their mailings, but misrepresented the amount of stock that would be dumped into the market. In one instance, Rad and his co-conspirators held more than 70% of the outstanding shares in a stock yet disclosed only that they held about 20%.

The investigation revealed that at the same time that Rad was engaging spammers to facilitate his pump and dump scheme, hackers hacked into the brokerage accounts of third parties, liquidated the stocks in those accounts, and then used those accounts to purchase shares of some of the Manipulated Stocks. This created trading activity in the Manipulated Stocks and increased the volume of shares being traded, further creating an impression that the Manipulated Stocks were worth purchasing.

Each count of conviction carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. Sentencing is currently scheduled for Apr. 4, 2013.

U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, with the investigation leading to today’s guilty verdicts. He also thanked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement, led by Director Robert Khuzami.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew S. Pak of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Section and Erez Liebermann, Chief of the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Section.

This case was brought in coordination with President Barack Obama’s Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

SEC Charges Four Penny Stock Purchasers with Fraud

Leave a comment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2012-278

Washington, D.C., Dec. 21, 2012 — The Securities and Exchange Commission SECtoday charged four securities industry professionals with conducting a fraudulent penny stock scheme in which they illegally acquired more than one billion unregistered shares in microcap companies at deep discounts and then dumped them on the market for approximately $17 million in illicit profits while claiming bogus exemptions from the federal securities laws.

Additional Materials

The SEC alleges that Danny Garber, Michael Manis, Kenneth Yellin, and Jordan Feinstein acquired shares at about 30 to 60 percent off the market price by misrepresenting to the penny stock companies that they intended to hold the shares for investment purposes rather than immediately re-selling them. Instead, they immediately sold the shares without registering them by purporting to rely on an exemption for transactions that are in compliance with certain types of state law exemptions. However, no such state law exemptions were applicable to their transactions. To create the appearance that the claimed exemption was valid, they created virtual corporate presences in Minnesota, Texas, and Delaware. The SEC also charged 12 entities that they operated in connection with the scheme.

According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan, Garber, Manis, Yellin, and Feinstein all live in the New York/New Jersey area and operated the scheme from 2007 to 2010. They each have previously worked in the securities industry either as registered representatives or providers of investment management or financial advisory services.

“These penny stock purchasers had enough securities industry experience to know that their penny stock trading was not exempt from the securities laws as they claimed,” said Andrew M. Calamari, Director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “They repeatedly violated the registration provisions and in the process also committed securities fraud. We will continue to fight microcap stock abuses that result in the unregistered distribution of shares without vital information about those companies being known to investors.”

The SEC’s complaint alleges that Garber, Manis, Yellin, Feinstein and the named entities violated Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The SEC’s complaint seeks a final judgment, among other things, ordering all of the defendants to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and financial penalties; permanently enjoining all the defendants from future violations of the securities laws; and permanently enjoining all the defendants from participating in penny stock offerings.

The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Michael Paley, Laura Yeu, Elzbieta Wraga, Haimavathi Marlier, Yitzchok Klug and Paul Gizzi of the New York Regional Office. Mr. Gizzi and Ms. Marlier will lead the SEC’s litigation.
